I stopped by on a weekend, and surprisingly the place wasn’t very busy. Despite that, the service felt quite slow, and the staff didn’t come across as particularly friendly or welcoming. The atmosphere was definitely the highlight for me. They have comfortable couches, high-top tables, and plenty of space to study, work, or just relax for a while. I ordered a latte, which was fine, but was disappointed to learn they don’t offer “for here” cups. I also asked for the Wi-Fi password, and the response felt a bit reluctant, which was odd and left me feeling slightly unwelcome. Overall, I liked the space itself much more than the service. I’m not sure if I’d go out of my way to return

Every time I have a doctor’s appointment, I usually stop by the Corona location, but since my doctor’s office moved to Norco, I was so happy to see they have a Crave right nearby. It’s honestly not far at all from my appointments, and the staff here is always so kind and welcoming. They answer questions, greet you when you walk in, and overall just create such a good vibe.
I always let them know that I have celiac disease, and I appreciate that they actually listen and try to take the necessary precautions. Of course, eating out is never 100% safe when you have celiac, especially in a shared facility with gluten products, and there’s always a risk of cross-contamination anywhere you go. But it’s still really nice when places take you seriously and do their best to help you safely enjoy something.
I love that they carry a variety of gluten-free pastries and treats. This time I picked up the pandan cookie, the ube cookie, the mint chocolate chip cookie, and the chocolate toffee crisp cookie. They also usually carry gluten-free banana bread, although they didn’t have it this visit. I also noticed some protein/date ball type snacks, but I didn’t try those yet.
Most of their gluten-free cookies are individually wrapped, which I really appreciate. They do have some displayed in a shared pastry container section, although they are kept separate and not touching the regular pastries. Just something to keep in mind if you’re highly sensitive. They partner with KJ Gluten Free Cookies, which seems to be a smaller startup business. They are not certified gluten free, but from what I’ve seen and experienced, they do appear to take precautions to keep things gluten free. If you want to check them out or learn more about their products, their Instagram is @k.j.sglutenfreecookies.
Their cookies do contain milk and eggs, though. I may be lactose intolerant and have a mild egg allergy, but honestly I hit the trifecta at this point 😂 I keep my Benadryl and Lactaid with me because if I find something gluten free while eating out, I’m going to enjoy it when I can. Eating out with food restrictions is already hard enough.
The inside is also super cute and cozy. I love the seating setup with the tables, stools, comfy chairs, and overall atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where you can sit down with a drink, pastry, or even do homework for a while. The customer service has always been great at both the Norco and Corona locations, and the staff always seem friendly and happy to help. I genuinely just love the vibe here every time I stop by after my appointments.
